      So, "fuck [insert minority group here]" is not racist or hate speech in a country with one of the strictest anti racism/hate speech laws.

      You just know that our lovable looneys will twist themselves into knots trying to justify this.

        Can you explain the strict anti racism/hate speech laws in South Africa? I'm not privy to SA law.

          Promotion of Equality and Prevention of Unfair Discrimination Act is part of their constitution.

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promotion_of_Equality_and_Prevention_of_Unfair_Discrimination_Act,_2000

          I'm not usually a fan of Wikipedia, but this is a pretty good article on it.

            Basically, blacks can be racist to white, because it's good.

              Only one problem with your theory:  the author of the "Fuck White People" was white.

              "The piece by Dean Hutton, an art student at the University of Cape Town, showed gold-colored boots, a chair and wallpaper showing the expletive and the words "white people" numerous times. Hutton is white."

              Be careful making assumptions.
